2,300 pts on Amazon clearance w/ Fetch

Posted on by

Ibotta is great, but often the rebate won’t include Jewel or Dollar Tree and that’s where Fetch Rewards comes into play, ’cause they don’t care where you shop (even online)! Scan the receipt and if there’s an item that’s part of a bonus rebate, you get it automatically in addition to the usual points – a minimum of 25 points for every scan.  Current promotion is you’ll earn 2,000 points ($2) just for signing up with promo code WVAB6.  I will earn points after your first purchase, but nothing thereafter.  Buy gift cards for Amazon, Panera, Target, Visa and more (I’ve don’t this for years). Once you start earning points you’ll see FREE items and bonus deals pop up on your Discover page. I’ve been earning tons of bonus points just for shopping at Jewel … okay, it’s FirstBorn buying all the crap :). I will say this is pretty much the only APP I use now since I don’t have to scroll the receipt to match up deals.  Ain’t nobody got time for that.  They also have games you can play that also earn points, but I’ve never tried ’em, so can’t opine.

Stopped at Amazon Fresh just so DH could return something Amazon-related, so Pita and I naturally checked the eggs and clearance – score on the latter!  I got 10 cans of hearts of palm for 79¢ each (I left a couple, but they had glass jars as well) plus a loaf of this fancy bread they don’t normally have.  Weirdly, the receipt showed the palm hearts correctly, but Fetch read it as whole kernel golden corn.

A nice feature is being able to use both Ibotta and Fetch on the same receipt.

DiscountMags Employee Discount Sale

The Employee Discount Magazine Sale is Live ! Pay what we pay on 100’s of our very best magazines for one weekend at DiscountMags.  This title was on sale in January for only $5.50, so Pita grabbed a couple of years (we love this stuff and could happily live on bread & cheese, although Pita would insist on a few glasses of wine) – this sale has brought the price down to $4.55, a HUGE savings.  I see Cook’s Country as well.  Many are available for up to three years.

Can PIE solve pop-up commission grab?

Nothing like a few dozen lawsuits to get an entire industry’s attention.

One of the few major online coupon browser extensions not to be sued for allegedly stealing online influencers’ sales commissions is proposing a compromise, and encouraging its competitors to adopt its idea before someone gets sued again.

Over the past several months, the owners of the coupon browser extensions Honey, Capital One Shopping, Microsoft Shopping, RetailMeNot, Rakuten and Klarna have collectively been sued more than 50 times by dozens of online influencers. Those influencers recommend products to their followers and earn commissions any time someone clicks on one of their recommendations and makes a purchase. But if a shopper subsequently clicks on a pop-up from one of these companies’ coupon code finders, that company is credited with the sales commission instead.  Here’s the entire article on Coupons in the News.

I can’t think of anything more nasty than putting in all the work finding products, posting about them with affiliate links (which only pay pennies, btw) and then getting cut out at the last minute by a pop-up claiming to offer a Buyer even greater discounts!  Not only nasty, but often not even true.

Have you noticed that we now go weeks without any inserts?  It’s turned into monthly ones.  The March P&G insert teased about in an earlier post seems to have disappeared – at least there’s no mention of it anywhere.

One SmartSource and one Save insert in the March 2nd paper.  Not all papers carry the same coupons or values, so this national list might show coupons not found in the Chicago Tribune.

Friday is Economic Blackout Day

Posted on by
Reply

A social media campaign has sparked plans for an “economic blackout” on Friday, one of several boycotts planned by activists intent on sending a message to large corporations at a time when many Americans are struggling to keep up with costs.

The initiative calls on consumers to suspend all spending, both online and in-person, for one day. Its organizer, the People’s Union USA, bills itself as a nonpartisan, grassroots movement dedicated to economic resistance.  They’re actually based in the Chicago area.

If you’re tired of being ignored as a consumer, tomorrow is the first of many economic boycott days planned – Friday involves making no purchases (gas, food, take-out, etc.), but if you must, buy local.  Here’s a gift article from the Washington Post – you do have to give ’em your email, but there are no charges incurred and no credit card info.
